A Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office deputy has been fired and charged with sex crimes, the sheriff's office says.
Chad White of Houma is charged with child molestation. The sheriff's office says he also shared nude pictures of a woman without consent.
"Last week, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators learned White had been showing nude images of a woman to other individuals," the sheriff's office said in a statement. " He was terminated as an employee of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office and arrested for nonconsensual disclosure of a private image. White was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex and released the following day after posting $50,000 bail."
The sheriff's office says their investigation of White also turned up evidence he molested a 13-year-old more than a decade ago.
"On Tuesday, June 3, detectives made contact with White and arrested him," the sheriff's office said. "He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux with one count of molestation of a juvenile. Bail is set at $250,000."
